AutoAuditorium Systems . . .

Any lecture-style auditorium presentation can be video recorded or
telecast at a moment's notice.
Because the system is permanently installed in the room,
it is immediately available.
It can be
setup in a few minutes; shutdown in less.

Because one switch turns the system on and off,
the steps to
record a presentation are

throw a switch,

insert a DVD,

press RECORD.

Connecting to a video network can also be as simple
as pushing a button.

Because the system is completely automatic,
an AutoAuditorium program costs much less than one done in
a TV studio or produced using a remote production crew.
The
experience of one company using an AutoAuditorium System was that the
money saved by
not making
6 remote productions in a year
paid for the system.
After that the
cost is just the price of a DVD and/or a distribution network.

Other organizations may find that
reduced travel expense or
employee productivity improvements
quickly pays for the system.
Some may assign a value to improved communications by asking questions like:

What is the hidden cost of staff members
missing important communications and information?

Can a copy of a the presenter's slides really convey
the full meaning of what was said and discussed?

Because there is
no post production,
programs can be watched in real time,
and
recordings are ready for distribution as soon as the program concludes.

There are fewer things to go wrong
because there are:

no targets
for the presenters to wear,

no camera controls
for the presenters to understand, carry and operate,

no need to identify the presenters
to the Tracking Camera

no battery operated devices to fail
(unless a wireless microphone is used).

Because
the Director
never gets
distracted,
called away
or
tired,
it always responds quickly to program changes.
For example,
when the presenter puts up a new slide,
it is put in the program immediately.

Likewise, since audio mixing is automatic and
doesn't require someone to turn up
the correct volume control,
remote audiences hear every word.

Because the presenters' slides are captured with a camera,
any form of presentation graphic works:
any type of computer projection, 35 mm slides, overhead foils,
or whatever.
If it is readable on the screen, the remote audiences can read it.

(But remember,
an AutoAuditorium system will not make a poor presentation better.
The image quality is only as good as the cameras and transmission channel
can produce.
If people at the back of the room have trouble reading the slides
because of fonts, point sizes, color choices, etc. the people
watching the AutoAuditorium video will have trouble also.)

Because the it is easy economical to use,
the system is used often.
Thus programs are recorded or telecast
that
would
have been considered too unimportant to be worth the cost.
One company,
in the first year they used the AutoAuditorium System,
produced
40% more recorded presentations
without any increase in staff.

And, finally,
because many more programs are recorded and telecast,
many more people can
avoid the cost and inconvenience of traveling
to presentations,
or missing them because of a schedule conflicts.
The result?
